At Phillips Wharf education is our top priority and not only would we love to host you at our waterfront center on Tilghman Island, but we can also come to you in the Fishmobile, our traveling marine science program.

The Fishmobile travels to schools, summer camps, community events and even birthday parties.

The Fishmobile is a mobile aquarium which travels throughout the state of Maryland, as well as nearby regions in Virginia and Delaware. On-board are 13 tanks and 2 touch tanks in which you can find animals native to the Chesapeake Bay. Common animals you may meet on the Fishmobile include:

The Fishmobile also has interactive displays and exhibits about the Chesapeake Bay, such as an osprey wingspan measuring board and mystery-touch boxes. Friendly and knowledgeable staff are ready to teach you about the animals and answer any questions you may have. It is a genuine crowd-pleaser, fun for all ages, and the perfect addition to your upcoming event.
TEACHERS – The Fishmobile is the perfect field trip because we come to you! An educational program can be customized based on what Chesapeake Bay topics your class is focusing on. Popular programs include watershed pollution, blue crab ecology, and oyster reefs. Speak with our Education Director to discuss options.
